"A cheaper and better car than a Cosworth" "Touring car handling with performance to put many to shame" "Rolling road tested at 163,000 miles - 203bhp at the flywheel and 175bhp at the wheels..." You cheeky monkey! That's one of the funniest things, I've ever read

ABS computer decided whether brakes would work or not so that was disconnected.

General Comments:

Since moving up from a Vauxhall Nova 1.2 to this 2.0i beast I have had no real regrets and at a cost of £460 quid I can't complain either. I would definitely buy another 21 TXi but would rather have a turbo as there are more easily tuned.

ABS provides a brake problem and nobody seems to know why.

Although having 8 previous owners, the 21 still runs good and moves seriously quickly on a hot day!
